Port it? What's different with the hardware on this device that requires ports of existing software? Is it a completely new CPU with new architecture?

It is a new operating system with a different api and security model. Binaries on one operating system with the same processor does not necessarily run if you run it on another operating system using the same hardware.

Interesting, VisionOS. Strange choice when they could've just wrapped the "windows" in iOS and leave the rendering to the device.

Probably what they do and it's most likely more marketing than a really new OS with breaking changes to how apps run, but I haven't looked into it.

Dells 6k is quite alright at reasonable price. Has some quirks though

Are you referring to the U3224KB? It's $2500, which seems a bit steep.

2400 in some places, and i bought it in thailand closer to 2000. It's comparable to ASD27 either way. Thus it's still much cheaper than Pro Display.

I love it. It is exactly the right size to have two windows side by side. 27“ used to work but nowadays half a 27 is no longer enough for many web applications

Agree, i think 32 inch is perfect size. However what bugs me is that waking up from sleep it often only wakes up left side, and the right is all green. i have to restart the monitor. I wish it was glossy too, but i can live with the matte.

The way i see it, that's just a huge advantage. My partner works as a medical research assistant. They had filled data into a huge spreadsheet in a software I think was called IBM SSES or something along those lines. Basically an excel spreadsheet, with hundreds of columns and tens of thousands of rows. One of the analyses they wanted to run wasn't working correctly so she was tasked with filling in 0s in place of em…

It’s a useful skill when using a machine, but not when anticipating how people out in non-tech land will use that same machine.

You say that as if there is another solution.

This is one way that you can design your software - follow existing conventions so that people's existing knowledge is useful for understanding your software.

The alternative can be summarized as "not doing that" and personally I don't see that solving any problems. It just means people have to learn it from scratch instead. And it's not like anyone actually reads manuals and such.

Interesting. I have a Studio Display and it just feels like a huge compromise. There are only two 5K displays on the market that can render macOS at Retina resolution on a 27" panel: this one and the LG Ultrafine, which isn't that much cheaper. My last monitor was a 27" LG QD-OLED 144Hz 4K display. I LOVED that display, but text wasn't sharp because of the Retina resolution problem. I also have a semi-professional we…

BetterDisplay lets you set fractional resolutions for any displays on Mac. While this seems like a compromise, it lets you scale the ui to you preferred size independently of the native resolution. I use my 5k display at 85% which is a bit easier on my eyes than native 100%.

Oh my goodness. This might be what I was looking for all along. I'm going to try getting that LG panel again and giving this a shot. Thank you!

I love this comment, I think you're completely right. What I love most about this comment is how it caused me to reflect on what I use daily and get some amount of joy from. When it comes to Apple products in particular I use an Apple Studio display at home, I use it for 10hours per day, every day, and honestly I have no complaints, it's probably one of the best bits of technology I use daily. However, it's completel…

I feel the same way about the utility of my AirPods. It is simple, boring, works every time I need it to, without any fuss or connection issues or pesky cables. Although, I have a strict policy of not sharing my AirPods, or let it connect to anything other than my iPhone to make sure I don’t get into the mess of “figure out which device it auto connects to” etc.

What it's worth, I currently use my AirPods on:

- my personal iPhone

- my work iPhone

- my personal MacBook

- my work MacBook

And not once have I ever had to worry about it being connected to the wrong device, it seems to just keep track of all the devices around and everything "just works"

In mind these are AirPod pro 2s

The XDR Pro Display is the Mac monitor without technical compromise. Incredible for coding.

32" is too big for me.

When you move your head around in Vision Pro, do the windows stay where you put them, or do they follow your head? If they stay where put, is this perfect, or do they jig a little bit?

They really seem to be glued to the real world, not moving when I move.

At least one less reason for headaches.

My NReal Air are nice glasses, but the fact that I can’t look away from the huge ass screen is annoying af. Eye movements can only get you so far, and the intuitive head movement does not work. Argh!

I recently had a kid and lost my office :), I've been struggling to have a set space for work when he's asleep, but would absolutely love it if I could just put on a headset. Is it workable for that? I used to try to code in the quest3 but the resolution felt like I might as well be coding on my phone. I'll go buy one today if this would be an office replacement for me.

The difference between the quest 3 and your phone is the monitor sizes. I have 4 monitors in immersed and while not high res, this is far more convenient than a phone (and for me than actual monitors; I hate stationary monitors workspaces). But I guess it might depend on what you actually do.

I code mostly. The quest resolution is not good for that.

Is anyone else using blink and vsCode for this? Seems like really good tool, but I am not sure how to turn off the smart quotes “”. Is this AVP that’s enabling, this or a vsCode/blink setting I need to resolve
